I know it’s completely the wrong time of year - and I might re-post this when the time is right - but when Sunny from Cricket for Dummies admitted, in a right shameful display of cricket ignorance I must say, that she didn’t know what the "Ashes of English cricket piece from the 1880s" was, I was inspired to write this (and to send bunnies to her home to pelt her with peanut shells as she tries to sleep).

World Cup Review - Part 1 - Australia, Bangladesh, England, India & Ireland

- April 4, 2011
28 years ago, I was rudely woken up by relatives screaming "We have won the World Cup".

- August 22, 2009
The 2009 Ashes has swung backwards and forwards so many times, you can get whiplash if you’re watching too closely. Australia dominated in Cardiff but couldn’t close the deal. England led in Lords and the first half of the 3rd Test. Australia regained the balance for the next one and a half Tests. But now at the moment of truth, Australia had one session so disastrous, we may have just...

England Beat Australia To Regain Ashes

- August 24, 2009
England regained the Ashes with a 197-run win over Australia in the fifth and final Test at the Oval on Sunday. Victory, achieved with more than a day to spare, saw England take the five-match series 2-1. Australia, set what would have been a record fourth innings victory total of 546, were bowled out for 348 [...]
